Portland, Oregon-based Disjecta Contemporary Art Center is accepting proposals for a Curator-in-Residence for its 2014-2015 exhibition season. Disjecta houses an expansive exhibition space for the presentation of visual and performing arts at the regional, national and international level that speaks to the region’s diverse interests, talents and identities.Supported in part by a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts, the CIR program—the first of its kind in the region—provides an opportunity for emerging local and national curatorial talent to develop and expand the scope of their practice through a one-year residency. Curators actively engage with a broad range of artists to create a series of exhibitions in Disjecta’s dynamic 3,500-square-foot space.Throughout the season (September 2014 through April 2015) the Curator-in-Residence will organize four to six exhibitions. The nature of Disjecta’s exhibition space and mission facilitate contemporary work that is installation-based, specific to the site or project-based—though these should not be considered limitations. Disjecta encourages artists and guest curators to challenge themselves and viewers, to take intelligent risks, and to expand definitions of disciplines.

DISJECTA provides a professional platform in which artists can realize their best work and engage new audiences. Our dynamic programs showcase new work and fuel collaborations between artists, curators, and viewers that impact and intervene in the larger contemporary arts dialogue. DISJECTA exacts equal rigor from local and national artists, while recognizing and supporting the talent of the region.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Scope of WorkSolicit and select artists for four to six exhibits (one must emphasize regional Pacific Northwest work) and oversee exhibit planning, budgeting and design. Administer contracts, schedules and budgets in collaboration with Disjecta staff. Assist in planning and attend opening receptions, group tours/curator talks, artist talks and workshops with exhibiting artists. Communicate the mission and goals of Disjecta while bringing a unique curatorial vision to the program. Convey key messages about artists’ work and Curator-in-Residence exhibits to Disjecta staff for media materials. Prepare drawings, models and sketches as required.Participate in fundraising duties as needed or assigned.

Multiples. is a temporary crossover market opening for one weekend in March and October 2014 showcasing objects produced as multiples. Editions and series of work will also be included. In addition, Multiples. seeks to span the division between art and craft, which are intimately connected, yet often artificially separated by preconceived notions of social value. Modeled as a hybrid of the contemporary art fair and critical craft markets, Multiples. is an affordable option for contemporary artists and makers looking to expose their practice and sell their works in Chicago. Please click the apply link below to showcase your work at our Spring or Fall stores, or the about link to learn more about art multiples.

We will notify everyone who applies by February 15 for our March event, though we are always examining submissions and you may hear from us sooner.

*Successful candidates will be notified by email by February. 15 for those applicants submitting their entry by the deadlines as scheduled.

Please, no emails or phone calls for results.Participation Fees:

For a $450 table fee, you can apply for a standard table arrangement to sell your multiples. Applicants can apply as individuals, or with a group, though applications for groups should include the names of all participating artists, contact info and websites.

For a $225 table fee, you can apply for a shared table. If you have another vendor in mind with whom you'd like to share your table, please indicate their name(s) in the application. Otherwise, the Multiples. team can find another vendor to pair you with from our list of applicants.

For a $225 fee, you can also apply to sell your wares from a small roving exhibit, which could be a bicycle, cart, or even a handbag (what, you've never heard of Clutch Gallery?) instead of a standard table. This is a fun option for those whose showcase benefits from being able to move freely about the event.

Researchers are invited to contribute articles and books on three Urban Knowledge Network Asia (UKNA) themes. UKNA is a collaborative research project on themes related to Asian cities of the International Institute for Asian Studies in the Netherlands.

The best articles will be selected for publication in special issues of journals and/or in edited volumes. Books will be considered for publication in the new “Asian Cities” series of the International Institute for Asian Studies, under the auspices of Amsterdam University Press. Outputs may also include documentary films, policy papers, blogs, and other projects.Selected researchers may be invited to participate in UKNA events. Past events have included Roundtable discussions, involving academics and practitioners, in the Netherlands, Taipei, Singapore and Macau on urban heritage and urban regeneration policies and case studies.

The Urban Knowledge Network Asia (UKNA) is an inclusive network that brings together concerned scholars and practitioners engaged in collaborative research on cities in Asia. The overall objective of UKNA is to produce innovative scholarship and other work that contributes to human flourishing in Asian cities. It seeks to influence policy by contributing insights that put people at the center of urban governance and development strategies. UKNA research activities revolve around three substantive themes:

The “Cities by and for the People” theme examines who are the actors and how they interact in the production, shaping, contestation and transformation of the city. It explores the relations between human flourishing and the making of urban space and form, with a particular concern for the rights of residents and users in the process.

The “Ideas of the City” research theme explores competing ideas of the contemporary city from historical perspectives to illuminate the continuities and ruptures in the process of city making.

The “Future of Cities” theme considers the challenges of urban dwellers and users in the areas of land, housing, infrastructure, services, planning and the environment, personal well being (including livelihoods and human capital), and “life spaces” (comprising culture, urban heritage, public spaces, and associational life).

Application criteria: Those interested to contribute should submit an English-language abstract of approximately 300 words describing their proposed output, plus a brief curriculum vita.

The West Virginia University School of Art and Design is accepting entries to the 5th annual West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival. We seek independent, unique and compelling work in film, experimental video and animation. All interested artists, filmmakers, multimedia enthusiasts are encouraged to submit work for consideration. Student submissions are also encouraged. Send us your work!

CATEGORIESWorks will be considered for five competitive categories: • Documentary Short • Narrative Short • Animation/ Experimental• Student (College)• Young Filmmakers (Under 18)• “Escape” Theme

THE “ESCAPE” THEMEThis year, we have established a thematic category for works that explore issues relating to the theme of escape. Whether it’s daydreaming, getting away from stress or pain, or finding a productive response to boredom, human beings seem hardwired to seek various forms of escape. Advances in science and technology have amplified this pursuit, allowing us to travel to the farthest corners of the globe in the course of a day or be fully immersed in our virtual existences at the click of a button.

However, it becomes clear that the positive or negative connotations of escape are truly in the eye of the beholder, as one person’s playful loosening of responsibilities or breaking of boundaries becomes another person’s self-absorbed fantasy. What is propelling us towards these modes of escape? How do ideas of escape manifest themselves historically in art, music, and cinema, and how has the notion of escape changed in our contemporary era? We invite works that reflect on these and similar questions

REQUIREMENTS • Maximum running time of 20 minutes• Works must have been completed after 1/1/2011• Please include English subtitles with all non-English narrative entries.• All submissions must include a completed entry form (filled out online or downloaded from the festival website).• Maximum of 3 entries per person. A separate entry form is required for each entry.

There are no rules governing content or artistic approach. We only seek well crafted, compelling or conceptually challenging works in video, film and animation.

ENTRY FEE (paid just once for up to three entries)• General: $10 • College Student: $5• Young filmmakers (Under 18): Free

AWARDSModest awards have been established by the festival organizers to recognize work of exceptional accomplishment. They include a $300.00 Best of Festival award, and five $100 awards in each of the festival categories: Best Documentary Short, Best Narrative Short, Best Animation/Experimental, Best Student, Best Young Filmmaker, and Best Escape Theme.

LOCATION/DATESThe 2014 West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival will be held Thursday, March 20 to Sunday March 23 in West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center and neighboring Morgantown venues.
